Discord finally adds Text Chat in Voice Channels

Discord is now finally adding the ability to have a text chat in your server’s voice channels.

As it stands on Discord, the only way you would go about sharing something while in a voice channel with your friends are to either: DM it personally, post it in #general, or make a new text channel for voice channel spam. Which are all not ideal. Now, Discord is now enabling users to have their own dedicated messaging space on each voice channel.

The feature is pretty straightforward with a chat bubble icon on the top right corner of all voice channels. A preview of each message will pop up each time someone posts in the voice channel’s chat.

What’s also neat is that Discord included the ability to check in on a voice channel’s chat without joining the call itself.  Server owners and moderators will have the ability to adjust voice channel permissions to customize it to better optimize for their needs as well.

The feature is now rolling out to servers and is expected to be enabled on all servers by June 29. All discord servers will be able to enjoy the Text chat within voice channels for free.
